Helmut Lang

AW1999 Flak Jacket

A striking fusion of utility, sculptural form and minimalist luxury — this jacket is Helmut Lang’s reinterpretation of the classic military flak vest. Crafted in a rich olive (army/khaki) tone, its silhouette draws from military vest design — with a high standing collar, asymmetrical zip + snap front closure, and sculptural paneling. Signature technical accents include side lace-up bondage details, cartridge-style loops, and angular flap pockets that reference tactical gear aesthetics.

COVERAGE

Helmut Lang's primary practice as a conceptually trained sculptor translated into his fashion design work both formally, and theoretically. Many concept driven sculptures consider the context in which where and how they are displayed. In the same vein Helmut always considered the context of functionality even within his ready-to-wear work. His opus displays a constant dialogue between the wearer and the garment, as every individual has an experience, and a specific use of the garment at hand. Helmut’s “Astro” jackets illustrate this point perfectly, as the inner straps that lock the wearer strikes up an individualized experience.

Helmut Lang often reimagined otherwise mundane articles of clothing. He brought them into his world through minimalistic alterations that ultimately perfected them. In the late 90s, Helmut’s embellishments were often straightforward in both form and process. Many of his basics during this time would be adorned with a simple stripe from one end to the other, which in a sense both recognized and accentuated the proportions of the silhouette.
